Abused footballer 'contacted by other victims'

Last week, ex-professional footballer Andy Woodward told the show how he was left feeling suicidal due to the sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a former youth coach at Crewe Alexandra.
He waived his right to anonymity to try to urge others to come forward, and since that interview six people have contacted Cheshire Police.
Andy told us he'd been inundated with "harrowing stories" from other ex-footballers, and also said he was upset he hadn't had any kind of contact from Crewe Alexandra.
